Housing
The new stainless steel housing makes the transmitters
ideal for all areas of application where they need to be easy to clean,
as well as having optimum corrosion resistance. The food and
pharmaceutical industries are two of the important sectors here. But
there are also many harsh industrial environments, in chemical and
offshore applications, where a lightweight, corrosion-resistant
stainless steel housing has advantages over a conventional, painted
aluminum housing.
The new variant, with a short housing, has a key
feature. Electrical connection is via an M12 connector, instead of the
conventional cable gland. This has created a particularly compact device
which can also be used, for example, when circumstances for mounting
are restricted.
Operation
The importance of easy operation
was paramount in the development of the device. The new rotary knob
replaces the traditional keys. Operation thus becomes highly intuitive
and very fast. Another great advantage is that it can be operated from
outside, without removing the housing cover. This is very useful for
explosion-protected applications and when working outdoors or in wet
conditions.
At the display level, you can switch between six
different images, each showing different measurement variables. Scaled
visualization, with freely adjustable units of measurement, is
particularly useful. This allows you to specify the measurement value in
relevant units for virtually every conceivable application, such as for
flow measurements and for liquid levels.
Transmitter programming is
very user-friendly. Not many parameters are required and these can be
set via the rotary knob, in a single-stage parameter level.
There is
also a setup program available for programming the transmitter, which
can communicate with the instrument via both the HART® interface and the
JUMO Setup interface.
Sensor system
The new transmitters cover the full industry range from 5 mbar to 1000 bar.
Because of its extremely low linearity error (max. 0.07 %),
the measuring accuracy also meets the most stringent requirements.
All the usual process connections are available, to allow for optimum
adaptation to different applications. These also include the hygienic
process connections used in the food industry and in pharmaceuticals.
